90 Minutes in Heaven is a 2004[1] Christian book written by Don Piper with Cecil Murphey.

90 Minutes in Heaven remained on the New York Times Bestseller List for more than five years[1] and has sold over six million copies.

[6][7] On January 18, 1989, Baptist minister Don Piper was on his way home from a conference in Texas when a semi-trailer truck struck his Ford Escort while crossing a bridge.

Piper describes that he was crushed by the roof of his car, the steering wheel impaled his chest, and the dashboard collapsed on his legs.

Piper, an ordained minister since 1985, has recounted his narrative before 3,000 live audiences that included more than 1.5 million people altogether,[1] and has appeared on numerous television and radio programs.
